Clever title, eh?

Anyway, I think it'd be a gas if a big group of westerners got together and piled into a health soup establishment. There seemed to be a fair number of bosh fans in that other thread that Pastis commandeered.

I've been wanting to eat it again, but since I learned about the common killing method, I haven't had a repeat visit. However, some folks mentioned that there are places which do not torture the dogs. So if anyone is interested, like at least 4 people, let's have a little trip one weekend.

Speak up! Or PM if you're afraid of the crusaders. Laughing

There goes your care package I was bringing with me to Korea bud. It just flew out the window...there it goes!

Puppies taste good, but after I learned how they abused them, I will never eat one in Korea again. If you're going to eat them, as many cultures around the world do, at least respect them enough to kill them as quickly and painlessly as possible.

For what its worth, I'd be up for going... I know people have very strong feelings about the way in which the animals are slaughtered, but what are you going to do? Go around restaurants asking if you can watch the slaughter happen - or take the friendly staff-waiters word for it? I've been eating at McDonalds, KFC et al for years...

I'm in. Just for the photo op of watching the staff see a load of waygooks pile into a boshintang restaurant (Well, I'm in for the puppy-eating too).

I've never tried to 'tang but I'd like to give it a go so count me in.

Mod Edit: Removed Pastis flame quote and flame response.

Are you bringing anyone Korean with you? I suggest you do. Koreans take their dog eating rather seriously (not to mention that at good places, it's not cheap). If you go marching into a boshintang restaurant with a group of other whities yukking it up, they'll think you're taking the piss.

There is a lot of hypocrisy involved: unnecessary suffering is caused to many animals because humans like the taste of their blood and flesh. Of course, it's better that the animals at least not be tortured before being slaughtered, but western meat-eaters shouldn't feel so morally superior.

People who love their pet dogs know that they have lovable personalities and that killing them unnecessarily for "food" - when there's plenty of food (including milk products...) that can be gotten without killing - can't be good. Cows are among the most gentle animals, and the way they produce "veal" from baby cows is abominable to anyone who's not pyschotic. (And they think that I'm crazy - go figure...)

If someone wants to set up a outing to a resturant that serves dog, then it's their right. Coming on and flaming the person for it (as did at least one person) is uncalled for.

Please refrain from highjacking other people's threads.

So if *my name* is mentioned in a disparaging manner in the OP's thread, I'm not allowed to react to that? If the OP didn't want me to post anything, he/she should've left my name out of it. This makes the mod. process look unusual...

You guys should call KBS, et all if you're going on an outing. I'm sure they'd love to broadcast such an event.
